| Remarks | Started as an orange, thin, light, vertical almost. I thought it was a very low plane at first, but it then got brighter and grew in size and was more yellow with a trailing tail with bright fragments. It seemed to move much slower than anything I’ve seen and seem closer than I’ve seen. It made me stop my car in the road to watch. It grew smaller and dimmer until it fizzled out. |
